Retailer Furin Green Temple Bell

Furin Green Temple Bell

This traditional Furin Green Temple Bell is great for anyone. In Japan, wind chimes are called Furin because the name "fu" is wind, and "rin" means chime.  The Japanese believe the wind chimes represent the beginning of summer and the chimes will ward off evil. The hammer is used to strike the chime, which does not include a wind catcher. Chimes are hung on the retailer corners of the houses for protection.

Chime 3 1/2" high by 3 wide (bottom)
Wood hammer is approx. 1 1/2" x 4"
Cast Iron
